So, respectfully I do wish to argue that Excelsis directing challenges towards the Spark-gifted is within Excelsis' domain. His description says: Doing so requires catalysts in the form of trials and tribulations. Excelsis is not shy about throwing these challenges at the sparks if he has to. 

While I agree that he has no actual say over actual Fate, I meant it more that he created a new metaphysical force that could be mistaken for fate which simply very slightly manipulate things around a Spark-chosen so they encounter a challenge. So I do think that his creation is a Surreal one of 2 Conviction.

If you stand by your ruling, I'll accept it but then I'd ask for a day to think what I would do (remove the subtle forces part and let it be Surreal, or keep it as a 3 conviction nightmare move).
